Best E-Bike Accessories for Daily Commuting

Commuting by e-bike is one of the most efficient, eco-friendly, and enjoyable ways to get around. Whether you’re zipping through city streets or cruising along bike paths, having the right accessories can make your daily ride safer, more comfortable, and more convenient.

In this guide, we’ll highlight the best e-bike accessories for commuting that every rider should consider—and show you how Cikada e-bikes are already equipped with many of them.

1. Helmet with Integrated Lights

Safety should always come first. A high-quality helmet with built-in lights increases your visibility in traffic, especially during early morning or evening rides. This dual functionality reduces the need for extra mounts and keeps your ride streamlined.

2. Front and Rear Lights

Bright lights are essential for safe commuting, especially in low-light conditions. Many brands require you to purchase these separately—but not Cikada.

• City and Touring: Both come with K-Mark front and rear lights.

• Urban A, Urban C, and Universal Cargo: Each comes with a headlight and tail light as standard.

This means no matter which Cikada model you choose, you’ll always be ready to ride safely, day or night.

3. Bell or Horn

A bell (or electronic horn) is vital for alerting pedestrians and other cyclists of your presence on busy streets.

• Urban A, Urban C, and Universal Cargo: These models already include a bell.

• City and Touring: You’ll want to add your own if you regularly ride in crowded areas.

4. Sturdy Bike Lock

Your e-bike is an investment worth protecting. A durable U-lock or heavy-duty chain lock is a must-have for daily commuters. Since locks aren’t included with any Cikada model, we recommend choosing one that balances security and portability.

5. Panniers or Commuter Bags

Carrying a laptop, lunch, or change of clothes? Panniers or waterproof commuter bags keep your load secure without straining your shoulders.

• Touring: Comes with a built-in aluminium rear rack—perfect for panniers.

• Urban A, Urban C, and Universal Cargo: Also include racks that work seamlessly with pannier bags.

• City: Does not include a rear rack, so you may want to add one if cargo space is a priority.

6. Fenders (Mudguards)

Fenders protect your clothes from splashes on wet roads, keeping you looking fresh when you arrive.

• City and Touring: Equipped with Sunny Wheel mudguards.

• Urban A, Urban C, and Universal Cargo: All come with fenders included.

So with any Cikada model, you’re covered against the rain.

7. Kickstand

An often-overlooked accessory, a sturdy kickstand makes parking your e-bike easy anywhere.

Every Cikada model—City, Touring, Urban A, Urban C, and Universal Cargo—comes with a durable aluminium kickstand, so you’ll never need to add one separately.

8. Reflectors

Reflectors enhance your visibility to cars and other cyclists in low-light conditions.

• City and Touring: Both come with reflectors included.

• Urban series and Cargo: Already equipped with built-in lighting systems, reducing the need for additional reflectors.
